The schools in Clayton Park are well respected and have excellent teachers. The facilities are getting old and in some cases overcrowded but are still very good facilities.

There are several elementary schools, one junior high school. one P-9 school and one high school. All schools eventually feed into Halifax West High School. This high school was built in 2003 and has excellent facilities. It is located in the Mainland Common area of Clayton Park.

There is French Immersion in a limited number of elementary schools but is available in all schools from grade 7-12.
